Today, Klabater officially announced that Production Line, a PC best-selling car factory simulation developed by Positech Games, will be launched for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Production Line is the new car factory management/simulation/tycoon game from Positech Games, the developers of Democracy series & Gratuitous Space Battles, pushing your organizational and entrepreneurship skills to the limit. Can you build the ultimate optimized, free-flowing car production line whilst beating the competition and still turn a profit?
A modern car factory is a near-perfect example of efficiency, process management, and flow. A massive army of precision-controlled robots dance to a millimeter-perfect ballet of engineering excellence with perfect timing. Components snake along with conveyor belts to a ‘just-in-time’ ordering system that leaves no pauses, no delay, no confusion, or congestion. Nothing exists but the perfect flowing efficiency of high-tech car construction…
In practice, of course, life is not so simple. When you get to grips with your first factory design, it certainly will not feel in a state of pure flow… or profit for that matter. Making a handful of built-to-order cars and breaking even is one thing…but competing with the big multinationals and churning out thousands of cars for the mass market is a whole new ballgame.
To win market share from the big companies you are going to need planning, an appreciation of future technology, a careful eye on your bottom line, and an ability to design a factory layout that makes use of every square meter, and cuts production costs per car to the absolute minimum.
